Assuming you want an immediate interruption wherever you are within the loop(), you could use a blocking interrupt that would trigger upon detecting the button press and just stay stuck until you release the button.

depending on your Arduino you might have to deal with watchdog or the fact that millis() won't be maintained, but could work for your need.

if it's OK to let the loop finish it's current cycle and you press long enough on the button (set as INPUT_PULLUP in setup) then

void loop() {
  while (digitalRead(stopButtonPin) == LOW) yield(); // block whilst the button is down

  ... here the rest of your code 

}
